Of course, there is a lot of markup and shipping costs because virtually all water ionization machines are made in Korea or Japan.
One must also distinguish between the "batch" process machines (you add the water, turn it on and wait), and the "real time" machines (you turn on the tap, and electrolysis takes place in real time, alkaline and acid water flow out tubes immediately). The design of the real time machines is nontrivial and almost always involves high surface area electrodes. Some of the technology is patented, and usually involves platinum which costs about $15 per gram. -----Original Message----- From: Vilik Rapheles <vi...@peak.org> To: silver-list@eskimo.com <silver-list@eskimo.com> Date: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 9:30 PM Subject: Re: CS>Calcium deposits/water ionizer? >At 06:03 PM 7/12/99 -0700, you wrote: >>The chemistry is fairly simple.
